The other one, called Netsky, isn't as dangerous -- it just wants to spread -- but it is rather unique in that it also essentially rids an infected machine of the MyDoom virus that infected who knows how many computers a week or so ago.

Fellow Page Editor majorwoo came across an interesting article in eWeek on Google and rival search engine Teoma, and Experts Exchange figures prominently in the story. Check it out here.

BooMod
BooMod joined the EE Moderator program in August, 2003, and immediately distinguished himself with his creation of a number of tools used by volunteers, Page Editors and Moderators, including his FastCAT program, which has helped immeasurably with the ongoing process of closing old, abandoned questions on the site. He may not be the most visible Moderator at Experts Exchange -- but there's no question that his contributions will be felt for a long time to come.

Graphics IT with [I don't remember how many] years experience. A bloody lot. Familiar with all the usual tools. Don't get me started on why you shouldn't be using CorelDraw, MS Home Publisher, or FrontPage. That goes for DivX too. Don't put inner bevels or flames on your text, and don't put lens flares on your photos. Follow these simple rules and you too can be on the pathway to true inner peace and enlightenment while sparing the rest of us the nightmares of bad design.

Also the local Experts Exchange Mac guru and Page Editor (for as long as I can keep up anyway).

Escaped the industry some time ago and am now teaching Paragliding, but keep up with the technology. There is no Experts Exchange topic area for free flight.....

weed also sent along a note that he says is "not really an article but a good collection of daily updated tips:" www.macosxhints.com. Be it beyond us to argue with a true guru?

I started out in 1982 on an IBM S/34, IBM Mainframe and an NEC mini as an operator. After writing a PC application to disburse accounting costs I was promoted to a programmer. Over the years I gained experience on S/36, S/38 and eventually AS/400's designing and writing many bespoke applications.

Like many ambitious professionals I worked steadily up the career ladder reaching a position of "European Systems Manager - Commercial System" a role with a reasonable development team. It was at this point in my life when I decided that I could do with out the stress on management; there are doers and there are managers - I am a doer and that is what I enjoy doing. I also love programming and can live comfortably on a programmer's salary - so I quit my management job and became a programmer again - a decision I have never regretted.

I am married to my long-suffering wife Kerry who supports me in everything I do. My main hobby is Ironman Triathlon hence when not working I am either swimming, cycling or running. I also enjoy fell walking and playing on PCs.
